PICC (Child) [English] Permalink Public
A PICC is used in some children who need IV therapy for a long period of time. IV therapy means medicine that is put into the vein. Frequent needle insertions can be painful and can damage children's veins, so a PICC may be the best way for some children to receive medicines and IV fluids or to have blood samples taken. An interventional radiologist or a nurse will insert your child's PICC in the Image Guided Therapy (IGT) department. An interventional radiologist is a doctor who use special viewing equipment such as X-rays, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT) scans to perform procedures that may have required traditional surgery in the past.

Pain Relief: Comfort Kit (Child) [English] Permalink Public
It is understood that kids have pain, especially while in the hospital. When kids are actively engaged in a fun activity, their pain and anxiety goes down. Pain might be due to procedures or treatments, or from their illness or injury. How children cope with pain is different for each of them. Some kids will not talk about their pain, while others will cry and yell. This page describes ways parents can help their child reduce pain using play and imagination. These methods will work in the hospital or at home. These strategies for easing pain work well with pain medication your child may need. Talk to your child's nurse, child life specialist, or social worker for more ideas. The toys in the following list may help.

Ear Infection - Otitis Media (Child) [English] Permalink Public
The middle ear is the space behind the eardrum. It can become infected by bacteria or viruses. An infection of the middle ear is also called otitis media (say: oh-TIE-tis MEE-dee-uh). The eustachian (say: you-STAY-shun) tube connects the middle ear to the back of the throat, and helps vent and drain the middle ear. An ear infection happens when mucus or swollen tissues from a cold block the eustachian tube. When the tube is blocked, the middle ear is not ventilated well and the air pressure changes can cause pain. This is much like the ear pain that happens on take-off or landing in an airplane. Sometimes the blockage does not let the normal ear fluid drain properly. This fluid can become infected and build up in the middle ear. This puts pressure on the eardrum and makes it bulge, which causes pain. Audio available. (English)
